As you know, here on this site we try to dispel the negative stereotypes about gamers. You know what we’re talking about: that gamers are filthy, unwashed nerds with zero social skills who’ve never touched a woman in their lives. You know, the whole ‘neckbeard’ meme that has been used to oppress those who suffered the most during the formative years of childhood.

Today I want to dispel yet another negative stereotype of gamers; that we have bad teeth. First of all, your teeth patterns are almost fully genetic, barring bad habits like thumb sucking. Now, as a hardcore gamer with a perfectly, straight teeth, I am doing my part to dispel this nonsensical stereotype. But I wasn’t born this way, and I fought tooth and nail to achieve the set of perfect canines you see before you today.

The following is my story of hardship for aesthetics. Of cold hard cash for orthodontics. Of a recovery of the inner self expressed through our food tearing and chewing mechanism. Let’s begin.

Prologue: A Tale of Woe

Here it begins. A standard childhood tale of some mild disfigurement and an endless torrent of bullying that shaped me into the angry nerd you see today. I had crooked teeth, and I hated it. The reasons I hated it were obvious. Crooked teeth were a sign of genetic inferiority, and I recognized it even back then. The lower primates called children were instinctively responding to my real weakness, a sign that I may get the whole pack killed. Being ostracized was thus necessary.

I Find My First Quest

Every nerd remembers it; his first ever ‘quest’ in life. For some it may have been getting the latest gadget; for me it was getting orthodontic treatment and my teeth straightened. I knew even back then that it would be an easy way to achieve positive outcomes in the future without even trying. People would simply like me better because of my straight teeth, and from likability comes influence, and from influence comes power. Those people of course never realize how much less they would like me if the only change I made to myself was that my teeth became crooked again.

But I digress. You see, thanks to the power of the Internet, although still fledging back then, I had already decided to research teeth straightening treatments. I didn’t know the word orthodontist or orthodontics back then, but I soon learned. And I came to see it as my quest objective.

Success and the Spoils of War

Long story short, I got my braces. Finishing my quest wasn’t too difficult, all I had to do was ask my nice upper middle class parents and they took me to a fantastic orthodontic centre somewhere in Birmingham, where our grandparents lived. As you can imagine, that was quite inconvenient but that’s the narrative. Anyway here are the spoils of war, aka the benefits that orthodontic treatment brought me.

Members of the Opposite Sex

Let’s face it, nice teeth are a symbol of genetic fitness. Fortunately as technologically advanced beings, we can mold our bodies to match these symbols; even if we never had it naturally in the first place. Simulating this genetic fitness leads to increased success with the opposite sex. In short, I went from braces to condoms, real quick!

Increased Social Influence

People naturally respect those they perceive to be higher up in the dominance hierarchy more. It is another instinctual reaction. When I’m at a social event, which is surprisingly often for a nerd, people always compliment my smile. Is it really any different or shallow then a girl with implants going to a party and getting complimented? What’s the difference really?

Anyway, because people liked me more I got invited to more parties. It was a great positive feedback loop.

Improved Mastication Experience

Chewing your food is a much more pleasant experience when bits of it aren’t constantly getting irritatingly mashed up between your molars and canines.

Ultimate Conclusion

Orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry can be used to improve your aesthetics and simulate genetic markers of fitness. This will bump up your standing in the social hierarchy and you will receive the associated benefits. Eating is also better. The end.

There is a stereotype of the depressed loser who just sits in their room, playing games all day, not studying and not working. Of course, as productive gamers (hopefully) we know that this stereotype is largely false. The key word here being largely, because there’s no doubt that there’s some truth to the stereotype.

Games are a great escape from life but problems arise when people make it an escape from a life they cannot stand. But game addiction is just a symptom, the true cause is a problem in mental health. So in today’s super serious post, we will be looking at why all gamers should ensure their mental health, just like their physical health remains optimal.

A. How Gamers Should Prioritize Taking Care Of Their Mental Health

You will come across mainly two types of individuals at present – one group with an extremely positive mentality and the other quite beaten down by their past experiences and feeling quite frustrated and exhausted. However, you must focus on taking care of your mental health irrespective of your mental outlook. In the following paragraphs, we will mention several effective ways to look after your mental condition.

1. Try to imagine things that you would like to enjoy during your vacation and inject some part of it into your everyday life

While holidaying, we usually go for a stroll in the park instead of visiting the fitness center or our friends accompany us while having lunch. It will be a smart idea to implement a bit of that attitude into our daily regimen which can add some spice to our lifestyle. This might imply going for a simple stroll outdoors or turning off our smartphones during a particular period of the day. Although you might not feel like you’re on a vacation, it will help you to be in top mental condition.

2. Learn to give yourself a break

We often struggle to accomplish our responsibilities in our daily lives. However, human beings possess tremendous power to get this done. We must make use of this ability to do our chores and provide ourselves with a break when we commit an error. We must bear in mind that nobody is perfect and making blunders is a part of our daily routine.

3. Perform meditation on a regular basis

Although the yoga teachers perform meditation regularly, we should also not shy away from doing this. While meditating, we must not try to accomplish any particular target; instead, just try to calm down for several minutes and concentrate on our breathing. Try to inhale and exhale gradually for a couple of minutes and slowly make an effort to increase that timing in future.

Although you need not reveal your mental health to your boss all the time, you should do so in case it affects your job adversely. For instance, if you might need to stay at home once every week to receive medication or you might need to stay out longer for lunch for making an appointment with your medical practitioner, it will be a wise idea to inform your boss regarding this.

5. Have sufficient slumber

Adequate sleep is essential for rejuvenating oneself and also reviving his mental condition. Without adequate slumber, you will not get the required energy to perform your daily chores. In fact, sleep can have a significant impact on your level of performance which you must not ignore.

B. How Hypnotherapy Can Be Used In Treating Mental Health Issues

Although we know hypnotherapy to be a successful way of shedding pounds and quitting smoking, it can also be used to take care of emotional issues plus improve our mental condition. In fact, our health and self-esteem are often affected by addictions, depressive disorders, phobias as well as other conditions which also include anxiety and mental stress. Consequently, we must learn how to tackle the deeper causes of our degrading mental condition which is equally important as our physical behavior.

Personally, I have used hypnotherapy to great effect, through a little nepotism. You see, my uncle is one of the best hypnotherapists in Reading (that’s in the UK btw).

How does hypnotherapy function?

Creating a quiet and safe space in the mind of the patient is very important when it comes to hypnotherapy since it helps one to relax and unwind. Next, one must try to develop optimistic mental resources while addressing some specific issues. Following this, the hypnotherapist should encourage the patient to practice hypothesis on his own which should minimize his anxiety eventually.

Below, we have provided different techniques for achieving this effect:

Hypnosis – The patients use this technique to unwind and open up their psychological resources. It is, actually, a modified state of consciousness.

A successful approach to introduce pauses for transferring people to the “being” mode from the “doing” mode happens to be mindfulness meditation.

The implementation of cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy can treat mild depressive disorders and more complicated conditions effectively. Patients are taught how to deal with any kind of thoughts that can result in depression by using (REBT) rational emotive behavioral therapy framework. Thus they are able to stop making any unrealistic event and also recognize irrational beliefs.

One can easily block memory channels and process traumatic memories with the help of eye movement therapies. Eye movement is a successful trauma treatment and scientists have confirmed this clinically.

You can also make efforts to perform hypnotherapy for yourself which will help you to make positive alterations in your thought process as well as psychological health.

You nerds may not know this, but I’m buff. Like shirt tearing, cheese grater abs buff. If you saw me in real life you wouldn’t even realize that I was an avid gamer because of how buff and handsome I am. So for my first post, I would like to do a favor for all the pasty gamer nerds jerking off in their parents’ basement out there.

Get buff, and then get the girls. Remember, when your pecs get juicy the hoes get loosey. And you know what you need to get buff? Protein, lots and lots of proteins. Cheetos ain’t gonna cut it, son!

Read and learn nerds!

Why You Need Protein to Get Jacked

The importance of getting sufficient protein to build muscle

Two types of filaments namely myosin and actin, both of which are proteins, constitute our muscles. Similar to all the proteins, these are actually made of amino acids which are linked with one other. A protein is actually a wall and the amino acids act as the bricks. Your system requires more myosin and actin in case you are trying to gain muscle and they do this by linking the amino acids together within the muscle. In fact, amino acids are of two types: essential as well as non-essential.

Our system is not able to make the essential amino acids and they must be obtained from the foods which are rich in protein. On the other hand, the non-essential amino acids can be manufactured by our body from other types of amino acids. Our food is the ultimate source of both these types of amino acids.

While consuming protein like fish, meat or eggs, it is broken down into amino acids by our digestive system which can be used by our bodies for different types of functions amongst which the most important happens to be building muscles. Consequently, it would be a wise idea to obtain sufficient protein which can help the other functions of our body so that our system is able to build muscle once you work out in the fitness center.

The importance of a regular exercise program to build muscle

Tissues constitute our muscular system and they control the joint movements by contracting. Our muscular system is improved by regular exercise since it enables the muscles to work with other body systems including the neurological and cardiovascular systems.

By exercising and working the muscular system, it is also possible to enhance our appearance by changing the composition of the body and also toning the muscles. However, make it a point to take the advice of your medical practitioner prior to starting any new workout routine for enhancing our fitness.

Oxygen and blood are required by our muscles to generate energy and also get rid of the cellular waste. Our muscular system is enhanced by regular workouts which include flexing the arms while performing weightlifting or flexing the legs whilst working on a treadmill. Every time our muscles contract and relax, the oxygen and blood entering the muscles decreases and increases respectively. Our muscular system is enhanced by exercise since there is an improvement in blood circulation that helps to improve the production of energy within the muscular tissues

We require muscular endurance for repeatedly flexing the muscles and also for sustaining the contractions of the muscles against resistance. As a matter of fact, muscular endurance can be enhanced significantly by exercise which includes weightlifting. Our quality of life will also be enhanced considerably by enhanced muscular endurance. For instance, we can maintain a healthy posture by core muscle endurance that will maximize the flow of essential nutrients within our body.

Our muscular system can also be enhanced by exercise which will increase the muscle strength. Weightlifting and other types of resistance exercises are the appropriate forms of strength training workouts. More force can be generated against resistance by a strong muscular system which will enable you to displace heavier weight. While becoming stronger, your muscles’ diameter expands and this helps to safeguard your bones from arthritis and other similar conditions.

Muscular coordination is required for maintaining balance while making complicated joint movements. It involves workouts which enhance coordination for any skill which is related to sports. In fact, muscular coordination is required by our day-to-day activities which include our household tasks. You are able to improve and also maintain your coordination by regular workouts. Your muscular system is able to coordinate joint movements effectively by walking and also performing weightlifting using free weights.

How whey protein can help ensure adequate protein intake for muscle gain

Whey happens to be a typical protein powder which we find in almost every health food outlet. It is actually a byproduct obtained from cheese. After being separated from the cheese, the rest of the whey undergoes a purification procedure and is eventually dried to obtain the powder form. Our system is able to digest it quite fast.

Recent studies have shown the importance of whey protein in increasing muscle strength and muscle mass. It is actually a complete protein which contains the amino acids needed for the protein to perform its work. Leucine, which happens to be an essential amino acid, is responsible for promoting the development of our muscles.

The maximum amount of protein is present in whey protein powder and the amount of calories is likewise minimal. In most cases, individuals use it before their training session although sometimes they are also used after workouts. While the blood circulation to the muscles increases after working out, a lot of protein is available for enhancing protein synthesis.

More protein is available to the blood throughout our system and, consequently, we develop muscle mass while increasing our strength. In case you are contemplating of getting more protein by means of whey, it will be prudent to consult with your nutritionist regarding the amount of protein which you should intake during the day.
